MOBA - Art too bad to be ignored!




I am not kidding. I find this Museum amusing and interesting. It's about creativity, it's about people who challenged themselves and expressed what they saw or feel through the means of color. It's not fine art, that is for sure. But who hasn't seen art in a gallery and wondered why someone called art that particular piece? Nowadays it's sometimes difficult to have a clear perception of what is an art piece and what's not! So, why shouldn't these masterpieces be treasured?

MOBA isn't a Portuguese Museum but sometimes I also blog about things other than Portuguese. The Museum Of Bad Art (MOBA) is the world's only museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition, and celebration of bad art in all its forms.

The Museum Of Bad Art (MOBA) is a community-based, private institution dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition, and celebration of bad art in all its forms and in all its glory. MOBA was founded in the fall of 1993 and presented its first show in March 1994. The response was overwhelming. Since then, MOBA's collection and ambitions have grown exponentially. Initially, MOBA was housed in the basement of a private home in Boston. This meager exhibition space limited the museum to being a regional cultural resource for the New England area.
